IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE THIRTEENTH J UDICIAL CIRCUIT

IN AND FOR HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FLORIDA

NEIL J . GILLESPIE
Plaintiff/Counter Defendant,
Case: 05-CA-7205
vs.
BARKER, RODEMS & COOK, P.A. and
WILLIAM J . COOK,
Defendants/Counter Plaintiffs.
________________________________________/
APPLICATION FOR ORDER
1. Applicant Neil J . Gillespie, henceforth in the first person, reluctantly appearing pro se
due to indigence and/or insolvency, applies to the Hillsborough Circuit Court pursuant to Rule
2.430(g), Fla.R.J ud.Admin., for an Order requiring the clerk to deliver to the applicant the court
records in Case No.: 05-CA-7205 that are to be destroyed or disposed of.
Rule 2.430(g), Fla.R.J ud.Admin.:
(g) Disposition Other Than Destruction. Before destruction or
disposition of court records under this rule, any person may apply to the court for
an order requiring the clerk to deliver to the applicant the court records that are to
be destroyed or disposed of. All parties shall be given notice of the application.
The court shall dispose of that court record as appropriate.
2. The Florida Supreme Court established procedure to grant my application for order in
SC11-1622 and SC11-858 that must be followed here under the principal of stare decisis.
Stare decisis (pronunciation omitted) is a legal principle by which judges are obliged to
respect the precedent established by prior decisions. The words originate from the
phrasing of the principle in the Latin maxim Stare decisis et non quieta movere: "to stand
by decisions and not disturb the undisturbed."[2] In a legal context, this is understood to
mean that courts should generally abide by precedent and not disturb settled matters.[2]
